Breaking Boundaries

The three types of plate boundaries are... select all that apply

• compressional

• convergent

• shearing

• transform

• divergent

What is an transform boundary?

• The place the Autobots first met

• A type of fault in which two tectonic plates slide past one another.

• A place where one thing turns into another thing

• A boundary where one plates moves over the top of the other plate

What is a divergent boundary?

• When you divide something in math

• The line you draw when you have to share your room with someone

• When two tectonic plates move away from each other.

• It is the boundary that separates the U.S.A from Mexico

What occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.

• The time zones change

• Divergent boundary

• It opens the boundary to other dimensions

• Nothing

What occurs when two tectonic plates collide into each other.

• A convergent boundary will be formed

• That never happens

• A divergent boundary will be formed

• They will need to exchange insurance

If an earthquake is caused by transform boundaries moving how strong will that earthquake be?

• The earthquake will be very strong

• This type of boundary doesn't cause earthquakes

• The earthquake will be very weak

• We don't keep track of things like this so it is impossible to know

What is a convergent boundary?

• When the Earth moves up and down

• The boundary that occurs when two plates collide into each other either a continental plate with continental plate or oceanic plate

• The area you build a fence on

• When everything moves to one spot
